I turned my head and stared out the large glass pane to where my brother, Colten, stood with his arms in front of him in a protective stance, his eyes focused on the man in front of him, our father. His brow started to sweat and his golden hair clung to his forehead as he waited for the attack and in the blink of an eye it happened. My fathers fist flew towards Colt's nose, his entire body weight behind the punch, Colt ducked slightly and managed to deflect most of the attack but it was sloppy leaving his chest wide open. My fathers knee came up and hit Colts chest just below his ribs in his solar plexus, Colt gasped and doubled over trying to regain the air that had been knocked from his lungs while father gave him an upwards punch, breaking his nose. I smiled slightly and took a sip of the water sitting in front of me as the echos of my fathers rage made the table vibrate slightly, I was glad the anger wasn't directed at me.

My father is none other than the great Samuel Seagal, leader of the biggest and strongest, not to mention oldest, pack in the state of Alaska; the Iron Bloods. He was one of the most revered Alphas worldwide. He has spent alot of his time in other places, states, countries, training smaller packs and managing affairs, but now he had a massive challenge, training my brother Colten to become Alpha and to continue to Seagal Alpha line which goes back hundreds of years. 

Colten walked inside, his shirt was half off and he was using it to mop up the blood flowing from his broken nose. 'Looking good,' I said to him and gave him a sly smile,

'Go fuck yourself May!,' He growled which made me crack a bigger smile,

'If only your punches had your attitude's flare,' I joked, giving him spirit fingers when I said 'flare', his upper lip curled slightly, baring his teeth before skulking away as our dad began to brush his feet on the mat before coming inside. 'Nice one Dad,' I said with a grin and gave him a high five, he patted my shoulder gently,

'Your turn,' he said happily,

'Oh yay my turn!,' I said with as much sarcasm as the words could hold before skipping out the door and warming my muscles up. Dad walked down the steps and stood in front of me, 'One sec,' he said, leaning down and tying his shoe. I took the opportunity to show my prowess as i launched myself at him, hitting his side with the full force of my body, he fell to the side, a look of shock in his honey gold eyes. I moved into a better position, pining him to the grass and baring my teeth before extending my fangs slightly, he struggled before managing to knee me in my rib cage. I flinched slightly as he tried to use my weight to throw me off but I punched him and moved myself into a stronger position. Blood ran from his nose which was broken but a bloodied smile played on his lips, he bowed his head in defeat and I waited a second to make sure he wasn't going to try something before standing up and offering him my hand. 'Like father like son,' I said, pointing to his gushing nose,

'Mikaela!,' he snapped and I felt the weight of his alpha tone on me, I bowed my head in respect,

'Sorry,' I said, eyes still on the grass at my feet, I felt him walk over and lift up my head with his non bloodied hand, our eyes met and he gave me a small smile. 

'If only you were a man, this entire pack would be yours,' he said with a tone of disappointment, eyebrows furrowed in thought,

'What are you going to do about that?' I asked cautiously, 'I mean, Colten...he can't.'

'I know,' he mumbled and placed a hand on my back, leading me to a small bench in the garden. 'I've told Colten I will make him Alpha in one month,' I scoffed and tried to say something but he shook his head and continued. 'But, he isn't ready and frankly I don't think he ever will be,' he sighed and looked at me and I nodded in agreement.

I loved Colten, he was my twin brother and we had always had a special bond. We were fraternal twins and didn't look anything alike, he had golden curly hair just like our mother and a slightly browner set of dads honey gold eyes whereas i had long brown, thick hair which came down past my waist and deep blue eyes that had a hint of that gold near the centre of my iris. He looked very much like out mother and had a lanky frame and little muscle as far as werewolves were concerned, Dad always joked that i took all of his muscle in the womb. I looked like my dad with his wide shoulders and stocky, fit build, as far as my body build was concerned, I had a masculine build but with more curves and a great rack. If i had been a man, I would have been the perfect Alpha but I wasn't so.

'So what are you going to do then, you promised him,' I blatantly asked,

'When I was in Canada last, I met with the Blood Paws and they recently had a new Alpha appointed, Alpha Benjin, he has a brother, twin brother who decided not to fight for the Alpha position. I've asked him, Brandon, to come and fight Colten for my Alpha position.' He answered.

'But what about the mighty Seagal line!' I asked,

'When you have a son he can challenge Brandon,' he responded in a isn't obvious tone, he looked at me and must have seen the disappointed look on my face, 'May, what other option do I have, Colt will bring all our work tumbling down!,'

'Let me fight for the Alpha position, or even better, give me the position!' I yelled in a mix of anger and excitement. I couldn't stop myself, it slipped out, but i stood my ground. Dad just laughed,

'Oh May,' he gave me a sad smile,

'Im serious! Give me the position of Alpha, I can do it!'

'I know you can Mikaela but you know you cant inherit a male title,' He said with a small growl.

'Fine.' I snapped and walked back inside. No such thing as a female Alpha, well I'm just going to have to change that, and I had just the plan...
